Critics' Picks: 'Solaris'

In this week’s Critics’ Picks, A. O. Scott looks back at Andrei Tarkovsky‘s rumination on memory and loss, “Solaris.” The film explores the boundaries between consciousness and reality within a science-fiction narrative. Mr. Scott appreciates how “Solaris” uses outer space to explore humanity and look at how “every individual human being’s emotions — love, grief, alienation, nostalgia — are as vast as the universe itself,” he says. Have you seen “Solaris?” Please share your thoughts.
